EEK! I FINALLY genrefied my graphic novels! My students helped place the graphic novel and genre stickers on each book, and then I created the different collections. I have lots of gaps to fill, but now I know where the gaps are. I love it so much!

Halloween is approaching! Be sure to have some non-food goodies for your trick-or-treaters! Our family is participating in the Teal Pumpkin Project, which helps raise awareness for children with severe food allergies and ensures that they are included during food-centered events and celebrations!

A8: My favorite read of this year would definitely be "Ten Thousand Tries." This book hit home for me, as it depicts a boy grieving the impending loss of his father from ALS. I lost my grandfather to ALS when I was 10. I needed this book and the mirror that I wasn't alone in my anger. #TLSkyChat

Looking for great middle grade reads on censorship?

“Same Page,” “Ban This Book,” “Attack of the Black Rectangles,” “Not Another Banned Book,” and “Property of the Rebel Librarian” are some great choices!

What an amazing surprise to get in my school mailbox on this Monday morning! Amy and I recorded such a fun episode last night, so it is only fitting that my @slupodcast.bsky.social goodies arrived! I can’t wait for everyone to hear the episode! #TLSky #Skybriarians

Just an upstate NY middle #schoollibrarian trying to grow her PLN and experiment here on Blue Sky! Please consider giving me a follow so I can have the best network of #Skybrarians on #TLSky!

🎙️I gave @techielibgrl.com’s ep on @slupodcast.bsky.social a listen and now I’m trying something new!

A8:

The book "Wild Things: The Joy of Reading Children's Literature as an Adult" reminded me so much of why I love being a librarian and made me so thankful to have parents who were educators. It made me really think about what my childhood would have been like if I had never read to.

Q4:

Such a hard answer! The most popular in MS are:

1. "Smile" (always!)
2. "Puzzled"
3. "Mexikid"
4. "The Squad"
5. "El Deafo"
6. Any History Comics Titles!

*And I NEED one of my readers to check out my new copy of "How To Draw a Secret" because I fell in LOVE with it this summer!
